Why? Message me if you don't want to say in here.
He's probably been banned because he's Robert Houdart.

I have a feeling that if Houdini was open-source Robert would be hugely admired, rather than hugely hated.

In NZ, we call it the tall poppy syndrome.

Yup but to be sure just try


Pawn : 900
Knight : 800
Bishop : 200
Rook : 150
Queen : 100
Bishop Pair : 10

Now if results are the same then this is hardcore proof.

It's part of life that some people resent success, in whatever form.
There's a nice saying in Dutch: "Hoge bomen vangen veel wind" (tall trees catch a lot of wind).

Surely Komodo has been copying, they even reverse engineered Houdini. They just don't acknowledge the fact.
